IMMORAD

The joint research project "ImmoRad - Fundamental investigations for the immobilization of long-lived radionuclides through interaction with secondary mineral phases in deep geological nuclear waste repositories" started in February, 2012 and is financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education on Research (BMBF)... ImmoRad contributes to the safety assessment of nuclear waste disposal and concentrates on application-based fundamental research for the retentive processes in deep geological environments. Within this project, structural incorporation of radionuclides into host minerals will be studied and also the influence of the formation of solid solutions in aquatic environments... A BMBF joint research project studying the immobilisation of radionuclides by mineral phases in context of nuclear waste disposal.
